Scrolling beyond 200 results in Discover@Boltonhttps://eresourcesbolton.wordpress.com/2017/08/15/scrolling-beyond-200-results-in-discoverbolton/
https://eresourcesbolton.wordpress.com/2017/08/15/scrolling-beyond-200-results-in-discoverbolton/#respondTue, 15 Aug 2017 10:50:06 +0000http://eresourcesbolton.wordpress.com/?p=2452]]>Some good news! You may have been aware in the past that it was not possible to access more results than the first 200 in Discover@Bolton, which was not only frustrating but utterly baffling. However, the providers of Discover@Bolton have released an update that means you can now scroll way beyond those first 200 results. This is a really good example of how providers take feedback from the user communities and turn them into positive developments.]]>https://eresourcesbolton.wordpress.com/2017/08/15/scrolling-beyond-200-results-in-discoverbolton/feed/0SarahThe mysterious case of the non-clickable Dawsonera linkshttps://eresourcesbolton.wordpress.com/2017/08/10/the-mysterious-case-of-the-non-clickable-dawsonera-links/

Suffice to say we’ve reported the problem and hope to have a resolution in place as soon as possible.

Although the problem with accessing PDFs has yet to be resolved, I have been supplied with a very simple interim measure that will allow you to download PDFs as you wish.

When you want to access a PDF article, instead of clicking on the PDF icon, right click on it and select open in new window. Et voila! Your PDF will then open. To quote a librarian at another university, “it’s weird, but it works”.

We’ve a display in the library, and I thought I’d take the opportunity to talk about a couple of our important health-related library resources.

One very important resource for health-related topics is CINAHL, a large database the provides access to over 600 health-related journal titles. This searchable database can be accessed from the library website, the relevant Subject Guide and of course articles included in CINAHL can be searched for within Discover@Bolton. Some of the content in CINAHL dates back to 1971, and includes articles on a comprehensive range of nursing and allied to nursing topics. Another important resource is the Cochrane Library, a collection of databases containing different types of evidence to inform decision-making in healthcare. Like CINAHL, this can also be accessed from the library website and the relevant Subject Guide.
